Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 16 year old daughter was driving to school on the morning of march 31, 1999. She was in the parking lot. She went over a speed bump, the airbag light came on and she heard a popping noise. At that time, the airbag deployed on her, but not at the normal fast speed. This caused her to run off of the road and over an embankment. The fire department was called as well as the police. There were no charges filed, they said it was a faulty airbag. It deployed without any impact. We have contacted chrysler corp. And they have sent a file on this to special investigations. …”
